Alarming stat downplays Dak Prescott's passing ability

[America's Cowboy]

Who is Wince?

Ive never claimed Dak cost us anything. He just throws a lot of balls off target.

I recall Cooper making some miraculous catches.

And I’m not sure how drops are defined but it sounds like an excuse category to me.

Wince is the one wincing in pain:

 

[America's Cowboy]

Stats don't make a quarterback "elite".
Making plays that make the team better when they need a boost does.
Dak doesn't produce when the team needs a leader.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Supporting Romo while he was on the bench is the most ridiculous claim I think I’ve heard from you on the subject. Lol

I suppose you supported leaving Bledsoe in there?

Wrong! Ridiculous assumption.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Dalton was not motivated to play for cin , and knew his time was going to be up soon, and I think he wanted out.
if he had played great, they would not have let him go now would they?
Sometimes you have to play poorly just to get away from a team.
I think tannehill wanted out of miami, and look at his turnaround when playing for new team.

I would like to see dalton with mostly starters in PS and see how he does.

Haha so that's it now, Dalton played poorly because he wanted too. He played poorly in the playoffs because he wanted too.

You guys make excuses and go out of your way for all these other players but can't support the QB of the team you claim.......

Dalton is a good backup QB but he isn't a top 25 QB in the league. He isn't even close to being good as Dak.

The entire Cowboys team played poorly to get rid of Garrett last year but some of you guys want to use that as a reason Dak is bad....... see the double standard

Wrong! Ridiculous assumption.

So , you supported Romo while he was on the bench but once he came off the bench to provide a spark from Bledsoe leading us to the playoffs you didn’t like him anymore? Let me guess , cause he fumbled the snap in Seattle.

 

[buybuydandavis]

Exactly. This argument is idiotic. All teams have drops- its part of the game.

We did have more, but not that much more. And we got rid of two of the worst offenders percentage wise - Witten and Cobb.

No, because he went...

How many times do I have to say it?

It wasn't until his later years, once married, that he gave up the limelight and got more serious. By then his body was breaking down though.

 

[CowboyRoy]

But those same folks brag on Dalton with his 1 TD and 6 INTs in the playoffs and well below 8-8 record for multiple years on top of having 16 TDs and 14 INTs last year.......

DALTON BABY!!!!!

 

[bewp7]

now do dropped interceptions...dak has a ton of those too.

maybe he just doesnt throw a very catachable ball!

 

[CowboyRoy]

Ok Genius. Winston had a lot of yards. Where is that getting him. Dak had a lot of yards and you think its Ok to shove the most Qb money at him because of his yardage! Yards schmards. Show me wins . Thanks for playin Einstein.

I really hope Dak throws for 5000 yds and we win a Super Bowl. But to say he deserves the most money as a Qb just because of the yards is a fools errand. Im fine with a competitve amount but am leary of a huge contract that hasnt yet been earned.

Wow, you really missed the whole point.

How about you answer the question and that might give you hint.

Winston threw for 5000 yards but no one was interesting in him as a starter. Why was it?

I dont have to answer anything because you say son. The op spoke of yardage and drops. My reply to him ( not you ) was about yardage and that Winston has more and look at his situation , simple as that. Obviously not simple enough for you. We will type slower if you need. I know I know but what about the int's. 8-8. aint too pretty either.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Op isnt a Cowboy fan


He is a Dak fan

Like the two concepts are mutually exclusive. You try way too hard every day at this GROD nonsense.

Amazing!!!

Yah..........he threw 30 picks. So 5000 yards doesn't mean much when you throw 30 picks.

And thats why Dak is getting a deal to be the highest paid QB and Winston couldnt even find a starting job.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Even though we know the the win/loss record is a team stat and not a QB stat?

Barring any huge injuries on offense, Dak will have the pieces he needs. QB’s that get paid like top 5 players are held to higher standard.

 

[Hadenough]

have you also seen Dak's meltdowns at the most imporant games ?
I still prefer Dak way over Winston , but not not anywhere near the price dak is asking . He just has proven nothing to deserve that type of a paycheck.

The most disturbing part is Dak has yet to shoulder the team and carry them to victory against a decent opponent. The Seattle playoff win was more Zeke and the defense. Yes Dak made a great run but had he thrown a TD pass that would of been more impressive. He has WRs getting open and somehow people think McCarthy is going to fix this. McCarthy can't throw the ball for him. If there was ever a game Dak could prove he can carry the team there were half a dozen last year. When Zeke gets shut down this team can't do crap.

Great lets celebrate . 7 losses against team 8-8 or better. Throw the whole bankroll at him . When he accomplishes anything more than wins ****** teams then they can talk about top dollar. Im glad you and your ilk arent negototiating for the team. Give him a salary commensurate with his achievements and thats fair.
Imk not saying Dak is bad. I do like him but the rose colored love affair around here and the willingness to just bend over is silly.

Inj the end he's gonna get PAID big time. If he takes us onward and upward I will be willing to praise him to no end.

 

[glimmerman]

Just for the sake of your argument, let's just call it 7 less drops do to bad passes, he still leads the league in yardage.

You are correct. Not trying to take anything away from anyone. I just think some of these stats can be counted with leaving all the blame on one side.
